Leak fix might as simple as tightening the hose clamp, or patching the hose. Biggest issue is actually moving the washing machine cause those bastards are heavy.
I wouldn't be calling a plumber just yet. They'll charge you a few hundred bucks for a $5 fix.
DIY YouTube videos are your friends in this case :)
Don't stress. This shit happens to everyone at some point.
Thank you π I needed this. And yeah I wasn't gonna get a plumber for the washing machine, was gonna do what you suggested and find a YT vid on it, and research a bit on repairing it. Dad said he would help me with it if I need :D
Edit: oh the washing machine isn't that heavy, it's a refurbished top loader and dad reckons they're easier than front loaders π€·ββοΈ but yeah it moves surprisingly easy. Side note: I always forget my massive fridge actually has little wheels, it looks heavy but it moves easy too lol
Thank you π
No worries :)
And if your old man is willing to help, he doesn't see you as a failure. Knowing when to ask for help is a sign of a sound mind. I low key love it when my kids (they're teens, but still) ask me for help. Us middle aged/older folks like to feel useful at times.
